"Memory Lane" Tommy & John's Sacrifice #TheStoop

South Shore Ave

Welcome to "Memory Lane" where at least once a month, I will share short clips, and previous full episodes from the South Shore Ave Catalogue. Reminiscing from some of my favorite moments in SSA History. On this episode, we dust off a classic episode of #TheStoop. With the spirit of the Paris Summer Olympics among us, we discuss the Tommy Smith & John Carlos' now iconic Black Power moment from the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. We discuss how the media would cover it now in comparison to then; the impact that moment has had on the world; discuss the similarities it has with recent major protests; plus more.
